A paragraph that explains life


Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbeldon player, was dying of AIDS he had gotten from infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed : " Why does God have to select you for such a bad disease? " To this Arthur replied : " The world over 50,000,000 children start playing tennis...5,000,000 learn to play tennis...500,000 learn professional tennis...50,000 come to circuit...5000 reach the grand slam..50 reach Wimbeldon, 4 to semi-final , 2 to the finals. When I was holding a trophy I never asked God "Why me?" And today in pain i should not be asking God "Why me?"

Happiness keeps you sweet, Trials keep you strong, Sorrow keeps you Human, Failure keeps you Humble, Success keeps you Glowing, But ONLY GOD KEEPS YOU GOING.

Khan31 if Allah puts you through trials, He will help you get through them as well. No matter how much adversity you have in your life, you should never get mad at Allah and pray for forgiveness and be grateful for what you have.

khan31 : this life is an exam full of trials and tribulations...
real life is the one in the hereafter..
i guess that's easy to say, but it's a fact that we must accept... agar aaj gham hai, to kal khushi zaroor milegi.

peace : really it's a pity that we show ingratitude to our creator, but it has been said that man was created impatient... i just pray that we all try to be grateful for the favours of Allah (SWT) on us

that's not true. I'm sure you have other achievements, your health, family, education and all those moments that made you smile. It's ingratitude that makes us grip over the little things in life. what would you life be like if you did not have all of your senses??


Peace

it's a shame not everyone thinks like that!! Really, that is the only reason why man was created, to worship Allah (swt) and to be grateful for the things He has given us.



Peace
